Connection timeout error keeps on occurring on my new Macbook Pro, please help?

I recently bought my Macbook Pro and the software version is OS X 10.8.2. I keep on having "Connection time out error" and I can't use the internet, while my old laptop and iPhone can use it without a problem. This keeps on occurring and I am new to this software, I have searched the internet but the solutions did not solve the problem. I restarted my macbook and still the same thing. I have tried the "Diagnostics" and "Assistant" in network preference but it would keep on rejecting the Wi-Fi's password even though it is correct. I'm trying so hard not to dislike my new laptop and Apple products, I pretty much trust them but this continuous problem is letting me down .

Yes the internal drive can be removed and a IDE/SATA to USB adapter used, provided the drive still works mechanially.
If the files are erased, it might be possible to recover using Data Rescue

I'm not sure about the iPhone, I think you need to have the same named user account on the new machine + be authorized/logged into your itunes account. but double check that over in the iPhone forum.

    The Hardware Test detected a RAM problem.  Take out the chips and make certain that the connections are clean and reinstall them.  Make certain that they are well seated. 
    If the problem occurs again, test with one chip at a time.  Also swap bays if necessary.
    Please indicate if you have installed new RAM and if so what brand and the specifications.
    Ciao.

    What type of headphones were you using? I have a set of Microssft headsets, with the built-in mic and connected via USB, and have no problems.

  • How do I connect a Windows 8.1 tablet to a new Macbook Pro?

    I am going to be purchasing a new Macbook Pro soon.  In addition, I'll probably purchase a new Windows 8.1 tablet to replace my aging iPad 2.  How can I connect the Windows tablet to the new Macbook Pro so I can add/remove data & movies?
    Thanks to everyone for this help on this; I appreciate it.

    Windows 8.1 is designed as a desktop operating system, so it doesn't need to be connected to any PC and you won't be able to connect it to your MacBook Pro because it hasn't got any port to do it.
    Instead, what you can do is to install iTunes on the tablet and access to all your content purchased from the iTunes Store by using your Apple ID, or transfer your songs by using Home Sharing > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819

  • Wireless Connection Issue Macbook Pro PLEASE HELP!

    Hi 
    I got a brand new macbook pro 13' the other week, i installed everything etc and also my bt home hub 2 showed up in airport and it all worked fine no problem no matter where i was in the house.
    Yesterday i tried to get on the Internet on the bottom floor and my router is on the 3rd floor and it won't connect to my Internet, it asked for the access key and then i get timed out message and then a message abut its the wrong key, out of range etc. I then go to the room with the router in or on the same floor and it connects and works fine, but soon as i move downstairs it does'nt work as it did before.
    Ive reset the router, changed router channels to all of them, changed it to G, N etc and still no joy, also tried WEP and still no joy
    Is this an issue with my mac or my router, my mac and router are n power why is suddenly not reaching the bottom floor when it did no problem before.
    Please help

    Macbook Pro and BT Homehub4.  Looked for help here but did not find it, however, solved the problem by chance as below.
    Problem - having recently installed Homehub4 Macbook was persistently refused access to the hub on the grounds that a password was required and the one keyed in was incorrect.  An older iMac upstairs was fine - this was the one set up by the engineer when installing.  Signal strength was at full.
    Solution - found by chance that the Macbook worked ok from another room and concluded that the signal strength was just too high in the original position.  By placing a biscuit tin in front of the hub the signal is sufficiently attenuated to work in the original room, and is still good enough to use the upstairs machine too.
    So signal is too strong! I call that counterintuitive and I bet no help desk would think of it.

  • Error 6 - Transferring Photoshop CS4 to new macbook pro

    I'm in the process of changing transferring everything over to my new Macbook Pro. I uninstalled photoshop CS4 on my old laptop but when I tried to install it on this laptop a box popped up saying I needed a certain Java application (can't remember which) which it searched for and downloaded for me but after it finished and I clicked to install CS4 it said that my computer needed to be restarted and if that didn't solve the problem to contact support and let them know I have an error 6.  Hoping someone can help me out. Thank you in advance!!

    Try downloading a fresh Mac CS4 installler.
    Use the CScleaner tool first before installing, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Download CS4 products  Have your serial number ready.

  • Error message on set up on new Macbook pro

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I am trying to install my Cs3 on it. Yes, a few versions behind
    I had to transfer the set-up files from the DVD to a usb key, because the new macbook doesn't have a DVD drive.
    I did this, initialized the set up, and it just gave me an error that said 'setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer support'
    So is there another way to do this? It never asked for my serial number, or I guess it is a 'coupon code' which I obtained when I bought it during school. Can I use the migration assistant instead?
    Thanks!!

    Copy the contents of the USB drive on your hard disk and run the installer from the hard disk. You will need the serial number for installation though. Refer to this document to find your serial number.
    Thanks

  • Why do i keep getting the "internet connection timeout" error message?

    i have been upgrading a few standard itunes albums to itunes plus versions through my 3g mobile broadband connection, while not exactly a fast process, it was working fine until i started to get a backlog of 3 or 4 albums which were waiting in a queue to be downloaded, now every time i do the "check for downloads" option i get the "internet connection timed out" error message...this has been going on for 2 days! am i right in suspecting the backlog of albums is too much for my 3g mobile broadband connection? this is really doing my head in, if any of you techies could help me, it'd be much appreciated...?

    yes i have recently updated to itunes 8.2.1, but i am starting to think its apple's servers (i tried to download at my brothers house...different computer and connection...same connection timeout error), because it will still let me download an album, but not necessarily all of the tracks. when i questioned itunes customer services about the seemingly hit and miss state of affairs with downloading, they told me to wait 3 weeks before trying to download the tracks that were giving me the grief (2 tracks from an arctic monkeys album)...which kinda indicates they know there is a problem and are trying to fix it, why else would they say wait 3 wks??? they gave me 5 free music tracks too, which is handy.

  • Connection timeout error trying to connect to wireless network

    Going nuts...
    I have my Time Capsule plugged into an outlet that runs back to my switch (Netgear) which in turn goes into my modem (AT&T uverse).
    (the switch runs out to about 6 ethernet outlets in my house)
    Everything was working grand until I screwed something up, no idea what, of course!
    I have set my Time Capsule set up...
    In the AirPort Utility
    AirPort tab
    Wireless mode:create a wireless network
    Connect using: Ethernet
    Internet tab
    Connect using: Ethernet
    Connection sharing: Off (Bridge mode)
    From these settings I can see the wireless network I have set up, but I can't connect to it (get a 'connection timeout' error when trying to connect to the wireless network using my laptop)
    When I try to change to Conenction Sharing to: 'share a public IP address' or 'distribute a range of IP address', then I get other errors... (DHCP Beginning and DHCP Ending Address Errors).
    Any advice would be great - thanks! 

    Bridge Mode is the correct setting for your Time Capsule.
    To aid in troubleshooting, I suggest that you temporarily move the Time Capsule close to the Uverse router and connect directly to one of the Ethernet ports on that device. Test to see if your wireless is working.
    If yes, then move the Time Capsule again and this time temporarily connect to the Ethernet switch to test that way.
    Keep working your way outward, testing as  you go. If the wireless works on the first test when you connect directly to the Uverse router, at some point, you will find the connection problem. It's almost always something simple, like an Ethernet cable that is not making a good connection with one of the Ethernet ports.

  • Can't connect via Airport -- "connection timeout" error, instead

    I've got a MacBook Pro here, which was successfully connected online via Airport, under OS X 10.4.11.
    Then I upgraded to Leopard (10.5), and the machine would no longer connect automatically to the router.
    OK, I tried manually configuring the wireless connection, but no luck. So, I brought in an old iBook G4 running the same OS (10.5), and successfully linked it to the router, wirelessly, via Airport.
    Copying the procedure that worked with the iBook -- to the MBPro -- did not help. Still getting a "connection timeout" error message.
    So I performed a fresh install of 10.5 -- and I even DLed the Software Updates, including two that were supposed to improve Airport functionality -- and tried again. No luck.
    Any suggestions?
    TIA.

    John,
    I had the same problem when I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard in January. My memory is already rusty but try the following:
    1. Go to System Preferences > Network pane. On the left pane, click on AirPort. In the right pane lower right, click Advanced button. Then on the AirPort tab, click on the name of your network and then the minus sign to remove it from the list.
    2. Click Apply and quit System Preferences.
    3. Put the computer to sleep.
    4. Wake the computer.
    5. Go back in to Network preferences, AirPort tab. Click the plus sign to add your network. Fill in the Network Name, choose the type of Security by clicking on the pop-down bar, enter password/code/phrase and click Add. NOTE: Do not connect to the network at this time.
    6. Click Apply and Quit the Network Preferences.
    7. On the Menu row, click the Airport icon and select your network. (IF your network does not show, choose Join Other Network. Fill in the Network Name, choose the type of Security by clicking on the pop-down bar, enter password/code/phrase and click Join.)
    8. Verify connectivity
    9. Put the computer to sleep.
    10. Wake the computer.
    11. Verify connectivity

  • I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

  • Connection timeout error in web report(portal)

  • Webservice Connection Timeout Error in Sun Java System Application server

    I have a java code to connect to Ebay Shopping Webservice that uses the client stub generated through Axis. The code works fine when I run it from the main method of a stand alone Java application. Which means there is no issue with the Proxy settings or any other network setting that could block the webservice from my system. However when I use the same code inside a JSF based Web Application, a connection timeout error comes up. The Web application is deployed on the Sun Java System Application server. The stacktrace of the exception is

    The JDK version on my machine is 1.5.0_14. Can somebody point me as where I should be looking for errors?

    You need to delete all the files under the 'generated' directory to force the server to recompile them after the JDK upgrade. Also check in domain.xml and make sure the JVM parameter is pointing to the JDK that you have installed. It is also worthwhile to check asenv.conf to see which JDK that file is pointing to as well.
